THE MYERS-BRIGGS PREFERENCE

QUESTIONNAIRE (Personality Test)

• This is a 20 question questionnaire designed to help see who
you are.
• Self-evaluating is not foolproof.
• Even when test-takers answer honestly, there are reasons why
the score is different from their true type.
• Taking this questionnaire is one step to determine your
personality type.
• Consider the results with objectivity and caution.

 MYERS-BRIGGS Explanation
• The original ideas of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) were
created by Carl Gustav Jung in 1921.
• The actual test was officially published in 1962. The test was created
to help determine which careers would be best for women as they
entered the workforce for the first time during WWII.
• It is a psychological analysis examination that determines a person’s
psychological makeup and how they perceive and make decisions.

The test is made of four different dichotomies or personality

descriptions. One can either be:

1. Introverted or Extroverted
2. Sensing or Intuitive
3. Thinking or Feeling 6
4. Judging or Perceptive
